I’ve been flossing 4-6 times a week since I was a teenager. I’ve had a grand total of 1 cavity my entire life. I use a floss pick now, so the “manual dexterity” issue claim is a canard.

It’s from a British newspaper, big surprise. I think I won’t take teeth advice from them.

Now I can free up some space in my medicine cabinet.

My dentist always compliments my teeth. I floss, mouthwash, and brush twice a day. I’m not going to stop on the off-chance that I’m “doing it wrong”.

flossing gets the left over bits out that cause BAD BREATH

Yeah, that’s what I wanna do, take my dental health recommendations from the Brits, right.

Everything I thought I knew as fact, is now being declared ‘false’. Just yesterday, I saw two examples, A.’Sitting for long periods of time does not shorten your life. B. Heavy consumption of antioxidants in foods can help cancer cells grow and spread.

Most people have to get crowns on their back two molars precisely because they don’t floss in between those two teeth.

Flossing can lead to making your gums bleed as well if you go too low on the gum and the gum opens up a little.
Then all the dirt in your mouth makes it’s way into the blood stream.
Arteries close and then you are in a box in the dirt awaiting the second coming of Christ.
Outside of that, floss away! LOL

“if not performed correctly”
is the key qualifier.
Driving a car may do more harm than good if not performed correctly.
Performed correctly, flossing is nearly as beneficial as brushing correctly
